Message: <blockquote data-quote="obloomingthistle" data-source="post: 55101" data-attributes="member: 15039">Hi, thanks for all the answers to my many questions.  I do eat quite a bit of veg now but I tend to eat them quite plain or in a light lemon & olive oil sauce. I’ll just have to start looking for some recipes. Giving up my morning cereal is the hardest part however I have done this. My blood sugar only seems to stay down when I can’t eat. ( tea, banana, crackers, soup...) I’m having lots of stomach problems. So there are many days I just can’t eat much.I only need to lose 15 lbs. The weight has dropped off me since I was diagnosed almost two years ago. I had tight control (always under 6) then was ill with a lung infection and asthma for over 3 months before they put me on steroids to clear it up. However, the steroids shot my levels up and I’ve been fighting to bring them down every since. That’s been almost 9 months! My doctors started me on Byetta and at first it worked great but has slowly stopped working and my blood sugars level have started to rise again. So I either don’t eat or live with high BG levels. I’m just so frustrated at the moment and feel like I have no control over my body. Other than not eating, I don’t know how to get my levels down. I take my meds like I should, I exercise everyday for 30 minutes or more and try to eat healthy but nothing is working. I’ll be sure to check out the Rose Elliot's 'Vegetarian Low Carb Diet' book on Amazon. I think I’ll try Googling some low-carb veg recipes too. I love carbs, so I think I’ll check out those low-carb alternative crackers, tortillas and shakes mentioned.  I’ll also be stocking my cupboards with nuts, hard cheeses and berries will replace many of the other fruits I eat. Thanks & Smiles</blockquote>
